well that sounds like how i started...blew the 3.8 up with n20 put a 4.2 in, ran fine for a while, blew up, then it blew up about two more times, then got eaten by a tornado.....so be careful lol

Oh yeah, I know how you feel about those tornados. Alabama gets them all the time. Usually, you're suppose to run but us, nah, we'll go outside and stair at it while either eating or drinking something. We love them. Almost as much as we love pancakes

before you spend any more money on your car, you should go get some english lessons....
